Are you doing cobra front brakes when you swap to 5lug?
Also, where did you pick them up at?

i've sourced a 95 cobra that is complete in a yard, that I plan on getting the front 5 lug parts from. As far as the wheels, I actually got 5 wheels...1 is still in the box sealed up. A friend of mine who has a Terlingua drop top Gt500 purchased them, special order from FRPP as polished and didn't like them. So I picked em up from her for 100$...yes you read that correctly 100$ for 5 of those rims.

with gas prices going up, I chose to be the same size all the way around that way I can rotate tires. 255's are going to be tight....275's (which is what I wanted will require me to roll the fender lips) which I don't have the tool for that......YET....

Holy crap, $100!!!!! Dam you got a steel.
What is the offset? If it was made for a gt500, it might have a bad offset for you're year mustang. Just a thought.
Don't forget to get the rear brake parts and 5lug axles...

because it looks like hammered dog**** when you use a baseball bat. Especially when the tool is only around 300$...

tires are standard NT555's

Those were the stock rims on my 03 GT convertible. I sometimes wish I wouldn't have got rid of them. They sure are pretty rims and I love those Nittos.

I now have deep dish chrome bullitts on my mustang.

Anymore pics of the vehicle?
